Diode Laser with Scaling and Root Planing for Treating Generalized Periodontitis: Case Report and Analysis of the Relevant Literature
This study evaluates the effectiveness of diode laser therapy, specifically the Biolase Epic X at 940 nm and 0.8–1 W, in conjunction with scaling and root planing (SRP) for treating generalized periodontitis. <b>Background and Clinical Significance</b>: A 32-year-old man underwent full-m...

| description | This study evaluates the effectiveness of diode laser therapy, specifically the Biolase Epic X at 940 nm and 0.8–1 W, in conjunction with scaling and root planing (SRP) for treating generalized periodontitis. <b>Background and Clinical Significance</b>: A 32-year-old man underwent full-mouth disinfection and laser-assisted periodontal therapy, with follow-up at six months. <b>Case Presentation</b>: Significant improvements were observed, including reductions in bleeding on probing from 20% to 5%, in mean probing depth from 2.3 mm to 2.1 mm, and in clinical attachment level from −2.8 mm to −2.2 mm. Radiographic analysis showed a stabilization of bone loss and an 80% improvement in pathological sites. <b>Conclusions</b>: These findings indicate that diode laser therapy is an effective adjunct to SRP, enhancing periodontal health outcomes with minimal post-operative complications. |
